Echo chainsaw fell off my vans roof :(

Dropped my 310 of the roof of my tipper yesterday. I loved this saw and would like to get it repaired. But is it possible and economical to do.

 

Photo of damage.

Oh bad times.

Plastic bag and a couple of good elastic bands, jobs a good-un!

Bend it back out and put something round in to hold it in place while you Araldite it then cut the thread back in with a file by removing the excess glue. It's worth a try.

Try "Sugru" brilliant stuff . I mended my broken brake handel on my 560 with it . Assorted colores as well .

Bend it out and use a good blob of 'seals all'?

 

At least that would be petrol proof.

 

Sugru is magic but not sure about with petrol...

Thanks guys I have bent it back, so just need some petrol proof sealant and a new cap as that is smashed as well.

 

Any links for a petrol proof sealer please.

As above 'seal all'. EBay or amazon and probably lots of other places.

Found some 'all seal' and ordered. Again thanks. Not sure sugru was petrol proof after doing a few checks.
